Microsoft Voice Command Almost Here

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hello-computer dept.

PDA User writes "The new Microsoft Voice Command for Pocket PC isn't supposed to be out until the next Comdex, but someone inside the company posted details to Handango and Geekzone posted a preview. The application notifies users of appointments, and answer simple English questions. It does not have "Do you want fries with that?" in the vocabulary though."

    Yet another example of Microsoft using their marketshare to leverage themselves into new markets.

    Bye bye, Jaws, and voice recognition software. Say hi to PKWare, FileTree Gold, and Netscape for me.

    Mod me as troll if you wish, but it seems that "Microsoft" and "almost here" are practically linked together permanently anymore.

    I don't care what is "almost here". I can't (use|deploy) that which is "almost here".

    thats why when you get there you order the

    "Number 2, small with a diet"

    they understand that much, because they are only listening for keywords.

    and here in So Cal, its almost impossible to order the number 2 with a coke, they always hear number 3 with a diet.

    I dont understand that but I have become acustomed to ordering the Numero Dos with a Coke Por Favore, and they seem to understand that.
